Where would you most likely find regional metamorphism? associated with a mountain belt associated with a volcano associated with a fault?

Answer:

Shield volcanoes are found worldwide. They can form over hotspots (points where magma from below the surface wells up), such as the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain and the Galápagos Islands, or over more conventional rift zones, such as the Icelandic shields and the shield volcanoes of East Africa.

Regional metamorphism is a type of metamorphism in which the minerals and the textures of the rocks are changed or altered due to the effect of pressure and heat over a wide area or region.
This type of metamorphism often results in metamorphic rocks that are strongly foliated.
Metamorphism usually occurs in the folds of thrust mountain belts.

Answer: You would most likely find regional metamorphism associated with a mountain belt.
